hush now
Stop making noise
Hush now is a gentle command to be quiet, typically spoken to comfort someone who is upset or crying.
It combines the shushing sound of *hush* with *now* as a softening particle, creating a soothing, reassuring tone rather than a sharp demand for silence: Hush now, everything's going to be all right.
